An aortic aneurysm is a dilation or bulging of the aorta, the large artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. This condition can occur in the thoracic (chest) or abdominal sections of the aorta and poses a risk of rupture, which can lead to life-threatening internal bleeding. Risk factors include high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, and genetic conditions. Regular monitoring and, in some cases, surgical intervention are important for managing this condition.
